... and they are still planning to introduce their two 32 seat A318 full business class service from London City to New York in the coming months.
Westbound it will have a fuel stop in Shannon, Ireland during which time pax will clear US immigration and customs so they can bypass passport control on arrival at JFK.
I did hear that the BA A318s will be modified to get an extra flap setting for the 5.5 degree glideslope and 1500m runway at EGLC. Elsewhere I have heard the speed on the 5.5 degree GS will be managed by a change to the control laws with automatic spoiler deployment when the gear comes down until the flare.
